At times this had a cheap Port or California fruit bomb red wine scent to it…but in a good way. A little nutty, spiced cookie dough and a touch of oak helped to round things out a bit. The Palate: Viscous, carmelized entry with more fruity wine notes to start. These transition nicely into some baking spices, clove and cinnamon, and fresh gingerbread. A little bit of smoke emerges towards the end along with touch of brine and a growing tannic dusty-ness. The Finish: Longish, with that touch of smoke and brine working well with the oaky dryness.

Bunnahabhain MacPhail’s Collection 1997 8.99 The Bunnahabhain distillery on Islay is located on the north of Islay with Caol Ila as its only neighbour. Situated along the Sound of Islay, it's protected from the fierce winds blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe this is reflected in the unpeated style of the 'Bunny' - it's the only unpeated Islay malt whisky. This is an 11yr old from the independent bottler Gordon and MacPhail

Bunnahabhain 12yr 10.99 46.3% abvOfficial Tasting Notes The nose offers a fresh and aromatic experience with a subtle whiff of smoke floating through the air. The taste starts with a light fruit and nut appeal that leads to a spectacular malty sweetness, finishing into a beautifully rich full-bodied, lingering experience.

Bunnahabhain 18yr 29.99 46.3% abvOfficial Tasting Notes This beautiful golden spirit’s nose releases honeyed nuts and a slightly sea-induced salty tang. Rich toffee and leathery oak aromas can be sensed upon further inspection. The palate is influenced by mellow sherried nuts and shavings of the finest natural oak wood. The voyage ends with dry notes that are interspersed with mixed spices fading magnificently into a light salt and sherry finale.

Bunnahabhain 25yr 89.99 43% abvOfficial Tasting Notes This 25 year old has an amber gold colouring with quite a sherried nose, at first that introduces a stunning sweet caramel dessert aroma, beautifully entwined with subtle suggestions of oak and polished leather. The indulgence of sweet berries and cream ensures a wonderful mélange of tastes that progress into a roasted nut and malt feast. The finish is soft and dry with a delicate dispersal of sugar and spiced oak flavours lingering on the tongue.

Caol Ila 12 yr 12.95Pale straw with gold highlights, full bodied pungent dry, earthy, peatiness burnt heather, sweet and a touch of salt In the classic Islay style, Caol Ila is made predominantly with peated malt and the resulting phenols have a big influence on the final flavour of the whisky, as does the salty coastal air that the casks ‘breathe’ during maturation. One of the most approachable Islay malts.

Caol Ila Distillers Edition 14.99The nose is peaty, hints of dried fruit and nuts tend to emerge .The Palate is The maturation of this Distillers Edition is finished on Muscatel sherry casks, which leaves a strong imprint on the whisky's flavour. A burst of sweetness like dessert wines followed by the peaty impact of the whisky's full-bodied palate. Citrus, nuts, dried fruits, sherry, grapes, the flavours just keep on coming. The Finish has a very pleasant aftertaste that lingers on and on. I loved this one.

Lagavulin 12yr 57.5%abv 16.99 Official tasting notes: Appearance, pale gold. Good beading with oily legs. Nose, glorious. Mild nose feel. Starts oddly rounded and well mannered. Soon grown increasingly complex. A waft of linseed oil then newsprint splashed with vinegar and fragrant sweet wood smoke with carbolic notes rising then falling. Struck matches. Later beeswax polish meets rich fruit mincemeat and coal tar as chocolate and cumin tease. With water, more of the same but greater clarity. A fabulous subtle interplay of tastes and a little more smoke. Body, rich, firm. Palate, pleasing texture, lightly oily. At natural strength the taste starts sweet and is then dominated by wood smoke. Charred newspaper and aniseed balls. Red berry notes. More powerful with a dusting of pine shavings then cooling carbolic and herbal. With water the texture is smoother still, the taste long and slightly sweeter with some fresh acidity. Still herbal with notes of aniseed and wood. So savoury, great to enjoy with juicy meats (sausage, kebab). Finish, warming, chargrilled fennel with lashings of peppery olive oil. Powerfully bitter sweet. Lengthened by adding water. Drying and warming with elegant savoury notes again and a late whiff of lingering fragrant smoke.

Lagavulin 16yr 9.99Great complexity on the nose. The bouquet starts with antiseptic ointment, then hot wax, orange marmalade, rubber bands, and some toffee – and going back a few minutes later there were some meaty bbq aromas. A sweet, creamy palate with a bit of peat to follow. Wraps you in a blanket of flavor

Lagavulin Distillers Edition 18.99 Diageo’s flagship Islay malt is no question Lagavulin. The Malt Master selects casks for a period of secondary maturation are former Pedro Ximinez sherry casks and the influence is a rich, characterful sherry proves more than a match for the powerful Lagavulin. The Nose is smoky, stewed fruits and raisins. Full-bodied and rounded, the well balanced palate displays a marriage of Islay peat smoke and Spanish sherry. The finish is long, softly smoky and gently spiced

Laphroaig 18 yr 15.95 Newly released to replace the coveted 15 yr old. Here’s the Official tasting notes: Colour: Bright gold. Nose: At bottling strength, a soft toffee sweet, faintly spicy flavour counterbalances the trace of delicate phenols and fruit. There is an all encompassing smoothness when these are all brought together. Adding a touch of water allows the seaweed and salt to come through but not enough to overpower the vanilla and honey sweetness with just a trace of new mown hay and peat at the finish Body: An intense depth that is exceptionally balanced and warming. Taste: An instant warming tang of smoke that fades into smooth floral scents and blends seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness and leaves a lasting sweetness on the taste. With a touch of water the peaty warmth fills the mouth but does not overshadow the sweet chocolate smoothness. This is balanced by the rich toffee taste and slowly fades into a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke. Finish: Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness

Laphroaig Cairdeas 13.95Every year, Laphroaig makes its Feis Ile (Islay Whisky Festival held annually in May) bottling available for the Friends of Laphroaig. This year’s release is tagged “Master Edition” because it’s created by the Master blender Robert Hicks. The recipe is 50% of bourbon hogsheads (11 years old) and 50% of first fill bourbon (15, 17 and 19 years old). Colour: Bright gold Nose: Spicy smoke, bacon and seaweed, a hint of citrus fruit. Palate: Sweet peat, salt, cloves, adding water unveils mixed citrus fruit and pepper. Finish: Very long and peaty with a salty finish. Laphroaig Cairdeas FOL( Friends of Laphroaig) Limited Edition 19.95 Extremely rare bottling and never available in UK shops. Color: Golden Barley Nose: Distinctly Laphroaig - iodine, peat, smoke etc. but with quite a bit of citrus (Orange & Apples) and a hint of creamy fudge. Taste: A good mixture of Laphroaig medicinal, peat, slight ginger, apples and hints of vanilla sweetness.Finish: Quite long with peat, iodine and chocolatey coffee.Bottled at 51.2% abv and non-chill filtered

Laphroaig Quarter Cask 7.95Burnt toast, dry medicinal character, and sweet vanilla. Palate smoky cereal notes, dry, smoky, peaty. Finish smoky and pepper A vibrant young Laphroaig whose maturation has been speeded up by ageing in Quarter Casks. This shows soft sweetness and a velvety feel when first tasted, then the intense peatiness so unique to Laphroaig comes bursting through. A really terrific whisky and great value.

Laphroaig Triple Wood 11.99This is essentially a quarter cask finished in sherry casks, so in addition to the intense charcoal smoke attack there are rich fruity notes; blackcurrant and berries. Big, moody, broody, fruity, and rich I found it quite a departure from the Laphroaig house style. Try it and see that you think?

Port Ellen 25 yr 29.95 Port Ellen distillery closed in 1983, a rare opportunity to sample a classic Islay. Distilled in 1978, and one of only 5100 bottled in 2004. The abv is 56.2 % cask strength. This is a distillery bottling not an independent. Nose, citrus fruits (lemon), iodine and peat with a background of smoke. Taste complex, between peat smoke and hazelnuts, hints of chocolate. Finish hints of dried fruits and spices long and rewarding

McClelland’s Islay Malt 4.99 McClelland's Islay label is whisky produced at the Bowmore distilleries on Islay .Nose: Medicinal, moderate peat, some sea salts. Palate medicinal, peaty, and salty. Finish a long finish, with the peat, especially hanging on Balance: It has a lot of character. The quality is good, and the value for the money is exceptional.

Smokehead Islay Single Malt 5.95No age statement. Nose heavy and peaty, body, hints of cocoa, peat, honey sweetness and a peppery spiciness. Finish is light and sweet Smokehead is the name of a 'mystery' single malt from Islay bottled by Ian MacLeod distillers. The packaging and entry-level price of the malt are targeted at younger arrivals to the malt scene, with the emphasis on the malt's peaty characteristics. There has been frequent speculation as to the identity of the malt in Smokehead, with guesses ranging from the interesting (heavily-peated Bunnahabhain) to the highly unlikely (young Ardbeg or Lagavulin). In reality, very few people know the true identity of the distillery which supplies the stock for Smokehead - and those who do aren't telling!

Glenmorangie Signet 39.95 46%abv Background info on Signet from Glenmorangie ... a whisky using chocolate malted barley - a rich, chocolate-coloured version of malted barley. He uses about 20% chocolate malt in the initial "wash" so the result is probably closer to a dark ale than stout in character. This explains the bitter mocha notes that proved so elusive. For the past decade, the distillery has made a single annual batch of this unusual whisky, producing rich, roasted smells during the process. "I'm surprised we haven't had any comments from our distillery visitors," Dr Lumsden says. The present bottling of Signet is a combination of the original chocolate-malt batch, matured for 10 years in a combination of former bourbon and new oak casks and then blended with other Glenmorangie whiskies, some up to 35 years old. Opens into pepper, dry leaves, and you can really taste the heavily-toasted chocolate malt alongside big sherried richness. Very toasty indeed. Becomes cognac-esque with plum, damson and tobacco on the palate. Some smoke in the background, and the sherry influence is big and weighty, with loads of raisins, ginger and fruitcake. A rich, sweet, dense, unctuous and luxurious whisky.

Glenkinchie 12 yr 9.99Official Tasting Notes Appearance: Bright Gold Nose: Very aromatic and flowery overall, like breathing in a country garden. Noticeable vanilla, cut flowers and beneath these, a clean, toasty note. Becomes increasingly sweet and creamy, with a lightly aromatic edge and fresh citrus, which all brings to mind lemon cheesecake. Water makes it still more creamy and scented. Body: Light, smooth. Palate: A sweet, soft start, like crème anglaise, soon becoming flowery again. A really smooth delivery, especially after adding a drop of water. The mid-palate is crisp and then the flavour settles into a tightly focused bundle of butter-icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias. Finish: Herbal and drying .

The Spice Tree 5.95 Tasting Notes: A natural, deep, gold-brown colour and a rich nose with spices such as clove and nutmeg, and sweet stewed fruits. Palate is soft, sweet, deep and rich with a malt whisky fruitiness embellished by rich spice. Very long. Lead Distilleries: Dailuaine, Teaninich and two other malt whiskies distilled in the villages of Brora and Longmorn. Wood: 100% first-fill Bourbon barrels and first-fill recharred American oak hogsheads for the primary maturation. A portion of the whisky went through a secondary maturation on new (virgin) French Sessile oak, heavily toasted. Our inaugural batch (labelled as such on the front and back labels) had one toast level. Our second batch, released April 2006, had several different toast levels for a slightly more subtle yet complex flavour profile, but definitely similar to the inaugural batch. Bottling Details: 46% not chill filtered, natural colour. (Distillers Notes)

Sheep Dip 6.99 The name comes from a time when farmers hid their home made whisky from the nosey Excise officers in barrels marked sheep Dip. Colour: Rich, golden copper highlights. Nose: Delicate and refined. Soft sensual floral notes arise in perfect harmony supported by an attractive array of complex fruit flavours. Melon, pear and orange with a hint of almonds conclude this profusion of charming nuances. Taste: Finesse and elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from the four distilling regions of Scotland. Each area forges and makes its own inimitable contribution to this outstanding pure malt - the main accent being expressed from the Highlands and Speyside Valleys. Distiller’s notes

Blended (Vatted) Grain Whisky

Hedonism No Age Statement 8.95Elegant flavours of vanilla creams, toffee and coconut aged in first fill bourbon casks. Made up of single grains from Cambus, Caledonian and Cameron Bridge Distilleries

Snow Grouse 9.99A blend of single grains very nice cold or on the rocks The Snow Grouse has a slightly metallic nose, with developing vanilla, ginger and peach. The palate is pleasant, without being highly flavoured, with clean cereal notes and fresh fruit which lingers through the medium length finish. Sampled from the freezer, there is an inevitable increase in viscosity, and while some of the characteristics of aroma and taste and dulled, there is a pleasing vanilla spiciness, and this is certainly an easy to drink whisky which would also make an ideal cocktail base.

Chivas Regal 12 6.95

Dewar’s Special Reserve 12 yr 6.95

Famous Grouse Gold Reserve 14.95A deluxe blend with the Macallan and Highland Park playing a major part of the make up of this lovely dram. The nose is delicate and floral, and just a touch sweeter than the standard blend, offering milk chocolate and coconut notes. The palate has fresh fruit, ginger and vanilla, but the vanilla does not overwhelm. The finish is quite long and spicy.

Chivas Revolve 11.99An exclusive top-end blend packaged in an eye-catching designer bottle. This product is seldom available on the general market.Very difficult to find.

The bonfire notes become softer and peatier with exposure to air. Full-bodied and silky smooth in the mouth, smoky and fruity, with spice and oak. Smoke and citrus fruits in the finish; complex, creamy and balanced. A lovely whisky which remains true to the essential Famous Grouse character.

Nova Scotia Single Malt Whiskies

Kenloch 19.95Golden highlights, slight greenish hue, light, clean and hint of smoke. Kenloch is actually a 5 year old Glen Garioch bottled for the Glenora Distillers, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia before they had product that was aged enough to market. Very rare now finding this one

Japanese Whisky

Yamazaki 12 yr 7.95 12 year old malt whisky from the first whisky distillery to be built in Japan. A sweet - full bodied and distinctively woody whisky

Yamazaki 18 yr 14.95 Nose: Black cherries, sherry, tarragon, a little rubbery and pink grapefruits. Palate: Dry sherry, raisins, grapefruit, and malty. A bark-like dry finish. Overall: Another excellent whisky. Better without water! This is a great dram! Japanese whiskies are all the rage and I have been shouting about them for a long time. Delighted that we managed to get this in for the NB Spirit Festival 2009 Irish Whiskey

Bushmills 10 yr 6.95Whisky Magazine Tasting Notes Nose: Very lightly scented with nutty ice cream and sherry. Palate: Rich dried fruit and chewy toffee, quite a mouth filling shock after the very delicate nose. Finish: Fudgy. Finish: After years of being overshadowed by its older wood finished cousins, this 10 year old is finally coming into its own.

Jameson 18 yr 12.95 This is the Master Blender's special selection of old Irish whiskey from hand-picked casks.

Jameson Gold 9.99 An Irish blend with a big rich body by being partially matured in new oak and a good amount of pot still character. Official Tasting Notes Nose: Fragrant wood, rich pot still with a touch of sherry sweetness. Taste: All the creaminess and honey sweetness come together to create a taste sensation of spicy character. Finish: A very long finish with a pleasantly peppery finale

Jameson Select Reserve 10.99 A special pot still whiskey-heavy version of Jameson. Select Reserve has lots of first fill bourbon and sherry casks in the mix giving it a much richer flavour than regular Jameson, with a strong sherried note. Bright sparks, these Jameson guys. This takes all the worldwide quality and balance of the standard bottle and adds a large dollop of pot still whiskey, providing plummy, rich fruits to the mix. They may have also upped the effects of oak, too, so there's an extra depth to the whiskey. Fans of the brand will love it, and pot still whiskey fans will appreciate a full-flavoured blend

Midleton Very Rare 14.99 The flagship blend from Ireland's biggest distillery (home of Jameson), Midleton Very Rare is a small batch blend released annually, generally to universal acclaim 40%abv Nose Subtle and complex. Very spicy with sandalwood, discreet oakiness, cereal and peach. In time even more spice and a lovely juiciness.Palate Long and very perfumed with layers of flavour: lilac, oak, toffee. Finer than the others. Finish Long, spices, oak. Dave Broom Notes

Kilbeggan 15 yr 14.99 A limited edition bottling of Irish whisky, bottled to celebrate the re-opening of Kilbeggan Distillery (Ireland's smallest and newest distillery). This is a bottling of spirit from Cooley Distillery and is limited to 1,000 bottles (a very attractive, heavy, etched bottle it is too). Official Tasting Notes Nose: Creamy and spicy followed by succulent honey sweetness. Taste: Sweet fruits and vanilla tones compliment the rich malt flavour. Finish: Hints of toffee emerge in the long oaky finish

Locke’s 8 Yr 8.95 Official Tasting Notes Nose: Very aromatic nose bulging with big fruit-barley character. Taste: The barley is big and succulent. There is a copper-tanginess followed by a dry fruity flavour. Finish: The malt is nothing short of enormous with a tangy character, vanilla essence and peaty finish

Redbreast 12 yr 10.99 'Remains an all-Ireland great...a treat for even the most experienced connoisseur' (Jim Murray). 'Highly Commended' in the Irish Whisky category at Best of the Best .Nose: A mature fruit bowl (pears, brown bananas, and strawberries), vanilla, and cloves. Palate Thick texture, floral and creamy with burnt ginger cake Finish: Rich and complex but still easy-drinking…“Classy”.

Connemara Single Malt 6.95 Distiller's Tasting Notes Nose: Smokey peatiness balanced by heather floralness with hints of honey and oak. Taste: Silky smooth with a honey sweet start, followed by more complex aromas of malt and fruit giving way to the intensifying full bodied peat. A well-balanced yet complex taste with vanilla oak notes. Finish: A long and glorious finish with golden honey notes and deep peat spreading across the mouth and palate. Hints of chocolate vanilla and oak

Connemara Peated 9.95 Thought peat was all about Islay? Think (or perhaps that should be 'drink') again. All Islay fans owe it to themselves to check out Connemara from the splendid Cooley distillery.

Connemara Cask Strength 9.95 Awesome peated Irish malt that will knock unbelievers for six. A gentle yet intense peat presence on the palate, this is a brilliantly balanced dram that Islay fans will adore. Picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010

Tyrconnell Single Malt 8.95 Official Tasting Notes Nose: Full and fruity aroma with a citrus spritzyness. Taste: A tang of oranges and lemons with a strong malt presence that balances well with the oily sweetness. Finish: A long finish with the malt becoming more dominant.

Tyrconnell Port Wood Finish 9.95 Whisky Magazine Tasting Notes Nose: Strawberry jam, pineapple and apples. Some forest floor (earthy and leafy), but only in small quantities. Palate: Blackcurrant and strawberry jam, in a sweet Victoria sponge. Very sweet and confected, but not in a nauseating way and underpinned with a little malty, cereal character. Finish: More sweetness. Overall: Another success…it walked that fine line between jammy and cloying, just about staying on the right side. A slugger.

Tyrconnell Sherry Wood Finish 9.95 Rich and full in the big bodied mouth with well layered flavours where more citrus is apparent along with honey, vanilla and some tropical notes.”

Single Grain Irish Whiskey Greenore Single Grain 7.95 A gold medal-winner at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, this unique concoction is a 100% Single Grain Irish whiskey, from the multi-award-winning Cooley distillery in Dundalk.Sweet with vanilla, dried banana chips, and coconut oil. Bourbon-y sweetness that gets the mouth wet in anticipation. Organic like fresh corn, green tomatoes

Welsh Whisky Penderyn Madeira Finish 46%abv 11.95 Penderyn was founded in 1998 by four private individuals. It’s the one and only Welsh distillery and quite different from Scottish or Irish whisk(e)y because the complete process from wash to new make is done in a single still. Also, they buy their wash from a regional beer brewer instead of preparing it themselves Nose: fruity and mildly perfumed. Big notes of white wine and oak. Some juicy vanilla as well. Slight apple and peach. Not bad. Stranger, dusty notes as well, mixed with hints of new-make (artificial banana). Let’s say it’s different. Mouth: malty with a few young bourbon notes: pine wood, sweet vanilla. Blood oranges. Also lokum (turkish delight) with rose water. Hints of bubble gum that are not really integrated. Gets spicier towards the finish. Finish: honeyed and sweet. Creamy toffee

Canadian Whiskies

Alberta Premium 4.99 Sweet vanilla pods and fresh-cut lumber. A complex mosaic of flavours from cedar to tropical fruit set on a creamy base with hot pepper and a delicate underlying citric zest. Rich & Oaky. Notes from Canadianwhisky.org

Alberta Premium Dark Horse 6.99 Slate, charcoal, bourbon-like vanilla, sweet pickles, dark fruits, sweet and herbal flowers, hot pepper, sweet ginger and crispy clean oak. An extraordinary symphony of rye.

Canadian Club 20 yr 7.99 A profusion of flavours melded into one, amply demonstrate that barrel blending is more than marketing hype, for this 20-year-old rendition is one complex and highly integrated whisky. Nose: The nose opens on cloves, nutmeg and sweet rye spices before a truckload of fresh-cut lumber, cedar, and bond paper rolls in bringing with it some rich oaky notes Palate: What starts out woody with some soft oak tannins, but without their harshness, quickly displays a range of tightly integrated flavours. These spread slowly across the tongue, but you have to pay attention to pick out fleeting individual notes. Sweet rye spices including nutmeg, hints of cloves, and cinnamon soon establish their presence, followed by a muted hot pepper Finish: Medium-long and fading, the finish is warm, sweet and slightly peppery as it disappears into traces of spices, vanilla, fruit, and wood

Caribou Crossing 14.99 Creamy vanilla, a dusting of rye spices, bursts of citrus and a veritable tsunami of fresh-cut wood. Soft. Caribou Crossing is the first single-barrel Canadian Whisky produced by a major whisky company since the 19th century.

Crown Royal Black 45%abv 6.95 Nose, Opens up on molasses then gets loads of vanilla, some spirit, dark fruit, black cherries, and bouquets of flowers. Robust. Palate: Very sweet and peppery. It begins on dark rum then becomes more Bourbon like, with some charcoal, followed by copious vanilla, loads of hot white pepper, chili pepper that stays hot on the tongue, and some ginger. Rich, robust, and creamy, with hints of black fruit The rum/molasses notes make it seem just a bit candied, which will appeal to some palates more than others Finish: Medium with nice warmth. Fades to pepper and bitter orange, with lingering vanilla-charcoal-Bourbon notes. Notes from Canadianwhisky.org

Crown Royal Cask 16 12.95 Best Canadian whisky of the year. A unique blend of more than 50 individually aged whiskies placed in rare cognac casks made from Limousin forest oak in France. Colour, Golden amber, Nose, rich and aromatic with hints of spicy pear and dried raisins. Palate, Complex rich and aromatic butterscotch, vanilla, and dried raisins. Finish, Sweetness subsiding in to a long clean finish

Canadian Club Dock 57 6.99 A typical fruity, rye-forward Canadian Club nose becomes sweet, hot, and spicy on the tongue. The most whisky like of the spiced whiskies with added notes of black licorice, Mom’s baking vanilla and a touch of clean oak. Canadian Whisky Org

Forty Creek Barrel Select 5.95 Forty Creek Barrel Select is distilled in small batches in a copper pot still and patiently aged in white oak barrels hand-picked for their unique characteristics. A selection of light, medium and heavy char barrels create a richness and toasted earthiness in the spirit. Vintage sherry casks impart a subtle complexity. This unique barrel selection process results in a whisky where aromas of honey, vanilla and apricot fuse with toasty oak, black walnut and spice. The flavour is rich & bold -distillers notes

Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve 8.95 John Hansell, Editor of the Malt Advocate Notes One of the finest Canadian whiskies I have ever tasted. Creamy and seamless from beginning to end. Gently sweet, with orange creamsicle, marzipan, sultana, praline, maple syrup, and a hint of coconut macaroon. Forty Creek whiskies have always been very good, but none have ever had the right stuff to reach classic status. Until now, that is. An outstanding, very distinctive whisky!

Gooderham and Worts 24.99 Produced by Corby’s a few year’s back this whisky had a cult like following around the globe. It now almost impossible to find. Has a suggestion of peat in a nicely subtle whisky A Canadian whisky extremely hard to fine anywhere

Pike Creek (Old Version) 24.99 Pike Creek Double Barreled Canadian Whisky is a blend of select oak aged whiskies finished in vintage Port barrels. Traces of port remaining in the pores of the casks serve to further condition and mellow the whisky while imparting a subtle fruitiness and warm toasted notes. Tasting note: Nose: curious amalgam of corn and fresh wine. Taste: soft, silky mouthfeel and then a whoosh of sweetness. Finish: some spices prosper as the port makes a stand, genuinely fruity at first then becoming a little bitter as the oak arrives. Balance: much more complexity now than from the first bottling 40% abv Jim Murray notes

Gibson's Finest 18 yr 8.95 Gibson, one of Canada’s most respected names in whisky, started out south of the 49th parallel as a most-respectable Pennsylvania rye. In the 1830s, in a tiny bustling distillery on the Monongahela River in western Pennsylvania. Nose .Sweet, spicy oak and pine sawdust, rich in toffee, vanilla, and hot spicy pepper. Palate Biscuits, with typical rye dustiness, spice, fruit, and just a drop of pickle juice. Rich & Oaky

Gibson's Finest 5.95 Produced from two sources: a base grain whisky (which would be a corn-based column still whisky) which is blended with a combination of rye based flavouring whiskies (which contain rye and malted barley distilled by a single column still and a pot still). It is bottled at 40 % abv.

Gibson’s 100th anniversary of thr Grey Cup Limited Edition Maple Finish 6.99 This finally crafted Special Edition whisky is unique blend of award-winning Canadian whiskies, infused with the highest quality Maple Syrup.

Lot 40 ( Old Version) 24.99 Lot 40 was a plot of land occupied by one of the ancestors of Mike Booth, the now-retired Master Distiller responsible for creating this whisky. Proud of his distilling heritage, he paid homage to his ancestry by naming this rye-heavy whisky for the spot where his family set up their first Canadian still many generations ago Nose: Very expressive right from the start. Dark, sour German rye bread, with dusty grain, caraway seed, wood, and bitter dark molasses. Dark fruits Complex and highly integrated, Palate: A really flavourful whisky that starts and stays on rye bread. The classic rye bitterness underscores it all like a pedal bass. Finish: Long, and the rye bread lingers the whole time. A pleasing peppery glow with a hint of vanilla sweetness and a clean zestiness.

Spicebox 5.99Spicebox Whisky is based in Montreal, Quebec where they blend and bottle their Spicebox Canadian Spiced Whisky. According to their website the spiced whisky is blended from Canadian whisky stocks which are aged from 3 years to 6 years. The spices and vanilla used to flavour the blend are extracted through a process they call cold fusion. Apparently three different vanilla beans are used (from various parts of the world) as well as the blender’s “secret spices”. The Rogue Staff like it a lot

Wiser’s Red Letter 19.95 A whisky created to celebrate 150 years of Wiser’s whisky in Canada. Golden amber in colour, with raisins, dried pear, honey roast anise on the nose, aged in new white oak casks. A very nice whisky
